Bank Holiday, Monday June 3rd in Cork, Ireland
Today I helped out with yardwork at Edel's, to earn my keep, trimming her garden hedges - correction her neighbors hedges that were growing wildly into her property. It was actually nice to feel helpful and busy and have a task to dive into! Afterwards, we visited her sister Mags, who I have also met on prior trips, and we had a relaxing lunch in her backyard and the sun actually blessed us with a lovely warmth and afternoon. Mag's made us their family favorite treat for summer, ice cream wafer sandwiches for dessert and we all toasted are good fortune!
I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!
Friday nights at Eco Cove Resort are sunset excursion time. All the guest are taken over to tiny Yeben Rock Island. This time the tde ws coming in quickly and alot of the island was already covered by water but that didn't dampen our party! We had a cooler of beer this time too! We also have become feriendly with the 2 families that were there sharing with us.
Eco Cove Resort in Raja Ampat - Oh what a wonderful place! I have truly loved my time here! Sharing it all with wonderful friends, made it even better. Here's some highlights above and below the water.
